[user=sax ryan]sax ryan[/user] Good performance, it does feel a little slow and the notes dont' seem as distinct as they could be. Good job overall though :D

[user=mnmwert]mnmwert[/user] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXC6MFybQ5Y is this better?

[user=sax ryan]sax ryan[/user] Hey that sounds great! Much better! The rhythm was much more even and the melody much more distinct! :D

[user=sax ryan]sax ryan[/user] wow. 0.0 I know a tenor player who's been playing that lately and we're in the same grade as you. I'm sticking with alto, and I'll try my best to work on playing THAT fast

[user=30181883]sax ryan[/user]

[user=cardenl23]cardenl23[/user] thx, are you learning my version or a different one?

[user=30251881]conesimone[/user]

[user=sax ryan]sax ryan[/user] oof, I don't really know right now... I'm still working on songs from the Alto Medleys 🙃

[user=30181883]sax ryan[/user]

[user=30131484]LOtto316[/user]

Sounds great!

[user=30181883]sax ryan[/user]

Practice long tones on them and find the right embiture

[user=11227431]♩♫𝓂𝓃𝓂𝓌𝑒𝓇𝓉♫♩[/user]

cool I'm learning this for violin as well!

[user=30181883]sax ryan[/user]

Thank you

[user=30181883]sax ryan[/user]

Do you know what tempo it's supposed to go at I think it's 200?

[user=29170383]MusicalSwordsmanship[/user]

The piece should be played at a vivace tempo (130-165 BPM.) I recommend around 150 BPM for the piece, maybe even slower on Saxophone.

[user=11227431]♩♫𝓂𝓃𝓂𝓌𝑒𝓇𝓉♫♩[/user]

[user=MusicalSwordsmanship]MusicalSwordsmanship[/user] the music I have says between 180-200. but that's for violin.
